Hop Brook Golf Course
Played On 06/06/2021Mow the ruff
The course was in pristine shape - except the ruff was uncut & too long!! If you didn’t stay on the fairway - you were in trouble, it didn’t matter where.
Stanley Golf Course - White/Red

Played On 09/05/2021The Golf Club At Oxford Greens
Played On 07/28/2021Strategic
For only playing the back 9, this was the most strategic course I’ve ever played. I’m usually able to avoid the sand traps but there are double the amount then normal. It brought out my weakness in the game. I will improve & return without doubt.

Played On 06/27/2021Overbooked
Everything was great except the pace of play. We had to wait at every hole. The front & the back 9.
Hop Brook Golf Course
Played On 05/23/2021Full club selection
Even though it’s only a 9 hole course it has an excellent layout. Only my second time there but loved it.
Vineyard Valley Golf Club
Played On 10/11/20209 hole coarse - not 18
Course is located on hill.. some tee boxes were dirt. It was very dry so any shot kept rolling off the course. Makes you shoot ball above & below your feet as it’s on the side of a hill. The greens are tiny with no safe (green) approach shot.
The 9th hole is a mote. For the white It’s an open shot but my wife shot from the red & had a challenge as theRe was a large tractor blocking a third of the green.
I drove a long way there so I played 18...9 twice.

Tough year with the summer drought. Can’t wait for the rain on the fairways
East Hartford Golf Club
Played On 09/13/2020Cart Fee Shocked
After a lengthy time of not being able to find a tee time (within our weekly budget for Sunday golf) on Saturday night, I booked what seemed like a decent price.of ($33) each for walking.. The last time we played there it was $33 with a cart.... I should have checked Cart fees (!) because when we got there, we were charged $15 each to share a cart. That brought it to $48 each.
When asked why the high cart fee, he said there was a shortage of carts.
Then on the first hole - they were transporting a string of carts across the fairway to the clubhouse.
My wife said for what we paid we could have gone to a better course. She was right.

Played On 08/30/2020Loved it
The course is worth the trip. Obviously because it was Completely full On a Sunday. Loved everything about the course except we had to wait at every hole. I’d definitely go back though.
Wintonbury Hills Golf Course
Played On 08/23/2020Disappointed
I had been at the coarse years ago & enjoyed it. This time was a different story.
It was a HOT day so we rented a cart. They have new carts with all the bells & whistles but on the first hole, the cart allowed us on the fairway, but then it said you were in a restricted area...so it shut down. Putting it into reverse was slower than a turtle in quicksand. Very frustrating.
It only allowed cart path. Walking from cart path to the ball in the heat, guessing your distance from the cart path - took all the fun out of the game.
There was a single player we let through on the front 9. On the back 9 - we caught up. He said there was a foursome not offering to let him through. From there we had to wait at every hole.
Wintonbury Hills Golf Course
Played On 08/23/2020Disappointed
I had played this course a few years ago & enjoyed it. But today was a different story.
Everyone who wants a cart pays $15. At first I was impressed with the new carts they had. That was until I got on the golf course. It was a hot day & on the first hole, a par 4, the monitor said cart path only.
The week before at a different course it rained so that made sense, but on a sunny day having to walk across the fairway with your clubs made it frustrating. .
A couple times I tested it & either it wouldn’t tell you until you tried to leave or it shutdown going there. At which point you had to put it in reverse, or the cart shut down Entirely (twice on me) & it didn’t function either way.
For the two of us it made our round of golf un enjoyable.
Quarry Ridge Golf Course
Played On 08/02/2020Challenging
This course is a challenge. Most have narrow fairways. If you miss them - you’ll pay the price. Most likely a lost ball. It forces you to play well!!
The Tradition Golf Club At Wallingford
Played On 11/08/2020Highway noise
My wife & I have played every Sunday all season this year at many courses.
I don’t know if it was the unseasonably warm November weather - but the highway noise was distracting. That definitely was the loudest I’ve heard at a course.
We golfed with a couple regulars so the game was enjoyable. Except for regular delays, two hit stray hits into our fairway. We had a extended wait at one tee box because of that.
Whitney Farms Golf Club
Played On 10/04/2020Challenging
This was our second time here because it’s a good value. It still struggles with the drought we had this summer but regardless still like the challenge of it.
Blue Fox Run Golf Club - Red Nine
Played On 09/27/2020Two starters
It was our first time there. there was a starter in front of the clubhouse. he explained all the details of the course and then sent us our way to the first tee on the white. When we got there, there was another starter and he also went through all the details. as We were playing we realized how valuable that information was & was grateful. the course had some dry spots it being a drought summer, but I look forward to going back when we get some much-needed rain.
Manchester Country Club
Played On 09/20/2020Loved it
This is my new top courses. A mix of easy & difficult holes. Didn’t like the blind holes because but this was my first time there so don’t expect that next time.
Pace was slow but my twosome was invited to join the twosome in front of us.
You can’t play much golf if you think $48 is a lot to play on a weekend. That’s a bargain. Check out the “much better” golf courses and see what they get. It’s not their fault if you have a small budget for golf.
